Revstone Chairman Takes Issue With Creditors' Counsel

Law360, Wilmington (January 30, 2013, 8:16 PM EST) -- The owner and chairman of bankrupt Revstone Industries LLC on Wednesday balked at the choice of counsel by the manufacturer’s unsecured creditors — Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice LLP — pointing to prior work the firm did for the manufacturer.

In an objection filed in Delaware bankruptcy court, Chairman George S. Hofmeister said the law firm did not reveal its history with Revstone when it applied to represent the company’s official committee of unsecured creditors, which recently launched an investigation of Hofmeister.
